About Silent Running (feat. Adeleye Omotayo)

"Silent Running" is a nautical term that refers to a mode of operation where a submarine lies on the ocean's floor with its engines cut to prevent detection. The phrase gained popularity after the 1972 science fiction film Silent Running, in which a spacecraft crew traveling through deep space maintained "silent running" to avoid detection by other ships. Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn applies the phrase to illustrate how sometimes he becomes so absorbed in something he fades into a trance. .
